Tile repair in Netherthird without replacing anything
A loose or rocking tile may need relaying first, and we will tell you. We repair the tile in place, so there is no need to hunt for a matching tile. We’re often asked to fix damaged tile edges and chips from dropped pans and tools, on floor and wall tiles, ceramic tiles and marble.
We stand behind the work with a one-year guarantee. Avoid dropping heavy items on repaired floor tiles, and clean with a pH-neutral cleaner.

Your questions about tile repair in Netherthird
Can you do more than one item on the same visit?
Of course, and it generally saves money. Send pictures of everything together and we’ll quote them together.
Are you accredited?
We hold CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile accreditations.
Do you come to Netherthird?
Yes. We cover the entire UK and travel to Netherthird and the rest of East Ayrshire. Send photos and we will quote, or call 0345 017 0787.
How do I get a price for tile repair in Netherthird?
Repairs from £95. Because every job differs, we price from photos. You will get a fixed figure before you book.
Can you fill holes left by old fittings?
Yes. We fill drill holes from removed fittings.
What if the damage is worse than the photos show?
We stop, show you and agree any change before carrying on. You will not be charged for anything you haven’t agreed.
Is there a call-out fee?
Travel is included in the price, with the same prices everywhere we work.
Is repairing better than replacing?
Typically, when the rest is in good condition. Repairing avoids the cost and disruption of replacing. We will tell you honestly if replacement makes more sense.
Why repair rather than replace?
Swapping out a damaged tile involves breaking out the old tile, finding a match and risking the tiles around it. Repairing it keeps the original tile. Our tile repair starts from £95. Every job is a little different, so each one is priced on its own. What’s damaged, how badly and how easy it is to reach all play a part, and combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.

For landlords and businesses
Housing associations and facilities teams use us for planned and reactive repairs. A repair avoids taking out and refitting, which is easier on the people living there.
Landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Netherthird use us as well as homeowners. A repair between tenants keeps the property empty for less time, and it generally costs far less than a refit.
What affects the price in Netherthird
Prices start from £95. We price every job individually. What matters most is:
- The material and finish
- Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
- How hard the colour is to match
- Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
Compared with replacing, repairing generally costs far less, because there’s no removal, plumbing or making good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.

It only takes a minute to photograph the damage, and it saves a visit. Please include:
- Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
- Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
- A clear, close picture of the problem area

Getting a quote takes a couple of minutes: photograph the damage, then the entire tiled area, include your postcode and send them to us. What comes back is a fixed quote, not a guess.
